#我的2023年终总结#
"You must send me to freezing as soon as possible!" In 2015, an old American lady repeatedly told her nurses on her deathbed, and after that, her body was quickly cut into 27,000 pieces.
The answer is that she did it for the sake of "eternal life."
This old American lady named Sophie Porter is a German-American, and her life seems to be a documentary of suffering.
In 1927, she was born into an ordinary family, and in that turbulent era, the living conditions can be imagined.
When she was 2 years old, she was left behind by her parents and had to come to her grandparents' house.
But this life did not last long, and two years later, her grandfather died, and her grandmother raised her alone until she was 10 years old.
A little girl lost the protection of her relatives in this way, and during this time, she also experienced the war, and it was not until the end of World War II that she was taken back by her parents.
However, in the face of suffering and poverty, the already meager family affection is even more difficult to maintain, and Sophie does not experience too much care from her parents.
She began to take care of herself early, worked hard to manage her life, and in 1956, she finally ushered in a happy event.
This year, she and her loving husband entered into marriage, and gave birth to 2 daughters one after another, the original lonely years were finally far away, and the next ten years are Sophie's best memories.
But Sophie's fate seems to be particularly bumpy, and her loving husband dies of illness, leaving her and her two daughters alone.
Since then, Sophie's life has taken a sharp turn for the worse, with the pressure of life on the one hand, and the increasingly unfamiliar mother-daughter relationship on the other, and she can only be accompanied by loneliness.
Slowly, the daughters grew up, got married and started a family, and Sophie became a marginal figure, and at this time, she had spent most of her life.
As she grew older, Sophie began to suffer from diseases: heart disease, diabetes, breast cancer......
"In five or six years, I had twenty or thirty surgeries. ”
Speaking of these things, even the medical staff in the hospital were a little unbearable, but Sophie seemed to be Xi to the torture from fate.
She struggled back from the line of death again and again, until she was 71 years old, when a sudden car accident made her unable to stand up again.
Lying on the hospital bed, Sophie looked back on her life and felt that she could not find anything meaningful and proud, and she was unwilling to die of such a failure.
By chance, she saw a report about the "Visual People Project" and immediately became interested.
In fact, this plan was proposed by the National Library of Medicine in the United States in 1989, also known as the "Digital Human Project".
It mainly collects data from the human body and uses computer image reconstruction technology to build a virtual human body, that is, a digital person who can see through multiple angles and will not die.
To put it simply, this is a three-dimensional human data model.
If you want to make such a model, you obviously need detailed and real human body data, and you can't do it with a living person.
Because this plan requires cutting the human body into tens of thousands of thin slices, and then polishing and extracting the data, this process sounds even bloodier than the punishment of "Ling Chi".
But Sophie was not intimidated by this process, and after learning about the significance of the "Visual People Project" to medicine, she decided to donate her body.
In her opinion, instead of leaving her own body that no one cares about, it is better to let it contribute, which is also "eternal life" in another sense.
In 2015, 87-year-old Sophie ushered in the end of her life, and she did not give up her original decision, and has been telling the people around her to contact the person in charge.
Two years later, Susan's body was successfully cut into 27,000 pieces, and she became a "digital person" as she wished, staying in this world.
